A 67-year-old woman diagnosed with a lung nodule on the left upper lobe was referred for surgical treatment. She had undergone a bilateral lung transplant in 2014. A robotic-assisted lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection was performed. Final pathology revealed a pT3N0M0 Micropapillary Adenocarcinoma. The patient is alive and disease-free 13 months after the operation. This case report and video illustrate the safety and feasibility of a robotic-assisted lobectomy in a lung transplant recipient.
